Suge Knight joined many of the glitterati at Chris Brown’s pre-VMAs party at 1OAK in West Hollywood on Saturday, but it turned violent! At 1:30am, Suge was reportedly shot SIX times, taken to the hospital, and had to have surgery.

He's now in the ICU, but the docs expect him to make a full recovery!

Tyson Beckford, Robert Ri'chard, and Black Eyed Peas' Apple de Ap all said that they were in the club when they heard shots go off inside!

And even after being shot, Suge WALKED outside and sat in a cop car until the ambulance arrived!

Tragically, three other people were shot as well, but they're expected to be just fine.

The investigation is ongoing, but we do know that The Game and his entourage tried to get into the club and got into a fight when he was turned away. It's not clear if there's any connection though. And there are also reports that Breezy was the initial target, not Suge.

Suge Knight was arrested early this morning just outside of Beverly Hills.

The rap mogul is still behind bars after cops saw him straddling two lines WITHOUT license plates all while being completely sober at around 12:30 am.

This incident along with his arrest warrant for failing to appear in court for driving on a suspended license meant Suge got a sweet ride in the back seat of a cop car to be slammed behind bars with a whopping $20,000 bail.

And it really saddens us to hear that, according to Suge Knight's rep, his and Katt Williams' club fight erupted after the two heard the repeated use of the N-word directed toward them as well derogatory statements about Obama.

As we previously reported, Suge and Katt were involved in a hectic brawl with countless other fighters outside Eden nightclub in Hollywood last week. This took place just hours after Katt was released from behind bars on bail.

But even though one source swears Katt started it all by calling someone "a Mexican," Suge's rep insists
